    Time for some hints! I think I've only posted Hint #1 so fa (and 4 haul hints), so this should start eliminating some people. Some hints more than others.

    Hint #1: I have never lived in my target's state.
    Hint #2: I am shipping North and West (but not necessarily precisely Northwest).
    Hint #3: For the first time in the last three NBS BIFs, my target has fewer beer reviews than I.
    Hint #4: My target's state is my most repeated state as a sender and/or receiver in NBS BIFs.
    Hint #5: My target has either: received beer from me in a BIF; sent beer to me in a BIF; or traded beer with me outside of a BIF.

    And now to add to the haul hints:

    Haul Hint #1: I am not shipping you any beer from where I spent the last 5 months. Consider yourself lucky (unless you like Tiger or Red Horse....).
    Haul Hint #2: I am, however, shipping some swag from 7 degrees South.
    Haul Hint #3: Although not required, I will be sending a mystery beer. Please enjoy appropriately.
    Haul Hint #4: There will be some repeat offerings from last round's box.
    Haul Hint #5: NBS 708 was my first in a long time. One or more beers from my posts will make an appearance on my target's porch.

    Looks like I have checked off 91 CA beers on BA, so I think that takes you off of my list.

    Like most places back in the day my targets state had trouble with British settlers and Native Americans getting along. It also touches a large body of water. It also has cities that are incredibly cosmopolitan, and yet areas that could be considered wilderness areas.

    Hint 1: your state/province has a power 5 football team, or the Redmen.
    Hint 2: your state/ province was formally established as such before mine was.

    I'm thinking the cosmopolitan bit takes me out, given how most of the country thinks about my state.

    I don't think you live on Montauk or the Hamptons, so I think #1 takes you off my list.

    The truth is, I’m disappointed by how few people asked if I’m their sender, as I had a bit planned

    Both in the same century, though? A century whose first pair of numbers is divisible by 8 (when written 1xxx)?

    Hint #7 - if my target was in the mood to gaze lovingly into the eyes of a live octopus, it wouldn’t be a super-long trip.

    An hour and a half to the Minnesota Zoo, and none in the Mississippi River, would exclude me.

    Hint #4, revised. My target resides within (approximately) two kilometers (using google maps) of a major North American waterway that is used for transportation in excess of 40 million tons of goods annually. Depending on intervening buildings, he/she may be able to see the waterway or a connector from his/her residence.
